I have loads of old tools but the only one I own that has a definite year of manufacture is my myford ml7 lathe. It was made in 1952 and restored by me in 2015. I absolutely love the thing, made when Britain was a truly great innovator and made to last. I consider myself a custodian rather than an owner and feel a responsibility to its former keeper, a truly amazing engineer, to keep it for future generations.
Anyway I digress.
Jon.
